Principal Software Engineer, Core Infrastructure
About The Position
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is building and operating large-scale, highly available cloud services in a globally distributed, multi-tenant environment. This team owns a foundational OCI control-plane storage service: a strongly consistent, highly available transactional key-value store used by OCI services to persist and manage critical control-plane metadata. The tier-0 platform service supports core OCI services across regions and realms, with strict transaction semantics, predictable performance goals, scalable data-plane architecture, streaming, garbage collection, cost-based throttling, and evolving storage and data models. As a hands-on senior technical leader, you will help define and build the next generation of OCI control-plane storage. The work addresses read/write scalability, strict serializability, multi-version concurrency control, data-plane architecture, operational automation, performance isolation, resiliency, and global service growth. You will influence the architecture of a critical OCI platform service, mentor engineers, lead major technical initiatives, and build systems that affect the reliability and scalability of Oracle Cloud.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design and evolution of foundational cloud infrastructure services that manage critical control-plane metadata and state for large-scale OCI services.
